Youth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cut the engine, kill the headlights seven houses down My chest was pounding so hard, I still almost hear the sound We were deathcab making plans there on the dead-end street I remember feeling so much, I could barely breathe [Pre-Chorus] We were perfect, we were magic We were lightning when we had it [Chorus] I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again Now whеn I think about us, all I can see is the end We didn't know what it was, how could wе know what to do? Why is young love, young love wasted on youth? [Verse 2] What if that summer never was? What if you and me Lost it to someone else? What if we met at twenty-three? Would we have made it last if we knew how bad heartbreak hurts? What if the best we ever had happened to be the first? [Chorus] I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again Now when I think about us, all I can see is the end We didn't know what it was, how could we know what to do? Why is young love, young love wasted on youth? [Post-Chorus] Wasted on youth [Bridge] I wanna believe that we were alive We had the real thing, not just a dopamine high [Chorus] I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again Now when I think about us, all I can see is the end We didn't know what it was, how could we know what to do? Why is young love, young love wasted on youth? [Outro] Woah, wasted on youth Oh
